Rev3:The time has come to pick an official game of the year, and we've decided on thatgamecompany's Journey.
The composer behind Journey, Austin Wintory, recently had a chance to revisit the classic game, just in time for its tenth anniversary.
My fav indie game ever, played this on ps4 and ps5. Too bad it does not have a plat trophy.
Jenova Chen told us about the development of the game.
Today, veteran game developers with experience on games like Journey, Skyrim, Spider-Man, Edith Finch, Ratchet & Clank and more, have come together to announce a brand new game studio, Gardens.
Concept artist has a very distinct style and if they can translate that into the game well this studio will be making some visually stunning games.
I never thought this game would get as much attention as it's getting but I'm glad an indie game is the recipient of probably the most GOTY awards this year.
For my girlfriend it surely is. The only game she was able to play in the last 5 years...
Journey deserves all the attention it gets bcz it jus brought smting different 2 us gamers compared 2 the overpopulated FPS genre...i haven't played it bt i've seen my brother playin it & thought it was awesome, even some friends of mine were saying it's a masterpiece & kept urging me 2 gt it 4 sm time time
I find it strange how when certain people here are submitting actual reasoning and explanations with real substance as to why Journey deserves the acclaim it's getting, it's being ignored by people who refuse to appreciate what makes the game unique and special and deserving of awards.
So we have the ones saying it's overrated because they personally completely missed the point or simply aren't open minded enough to understand why thatgamecompany did what they did and the design choices that were made. If it's "just a glorified walking simulator" to you, then the point of the game, its story, gameplay and its deeper significance... it flew right over you're head.
And just out of curiosity, what should it be recognised as then if not game? Experience of the year?
